Transfer Major

Decisions on the transferability of courses are made by the four-year colleges and differ from school to school. Students enrolled in this major should contact the Transfer Services Office early in their academic program to determine which courses will transfer to the college of their choice.

The Environmental Science major provides an understanding of a wide range of environmental and ecological concepts. This major is for students planning to earn a baccalaureate degree in the broad range of environmental sciences.

Graduates of this program are able to

sample and analyze the biological, chemical, and physical components of ecosystems;

participate in habitat restoration and resource management projects; and

describe how geologic processes can impact the earth system.

Prospective students with academic deficiencies should be aware that they will need additional time to acquire the necessary academic background. Prerequisites and corequisites for required courses must be followed.

Recommended Semester Sequence

The recommended course sequence is designed for full-time students who average 15 credit hours per semester. Students may need more time to complete major requirements based on placement testing. This additional time will entail some adjustments to the sequence recommended.
